[/QUOTE]

This ladder was abandoned a long time ago by the own, and respectfully tonice is selling his zealot and not even on this ladder so his opinion should be irrelevant.

You are the only one hosting tournaments and ladders so I say you make a new one with gm rules that y’all have come to learn. Tap has always been banned on the west, so I’m sure there are more people who agree with you than not.

If you make a new ladder with fair and fun rules and then host your tournaments as an extension from them then it would be better than updating a old ladder and trying to inform everyone of the new rules.

I’ve been in zeal for over 10 years and I’ve never seen tap be allowed and that’s why it’s banned in all tournaments for fg.

I had no intentions of causing anyone to leave and stop hosting tourneys, i was simply following rules that I know to be gm.

It would be a shame if you left and stopped hosting tournaments, without you this place would fall and crumble. I mean you even donated 10k to the pot of the tournament, these people need to put some respect on your name.

funny how you talk about respect

I have always used exile if the person simply doesn’t have one I won’t use it because I like to keep it fair but every Zealer should have a tap setup on east if you don’t I would start looking now tap is a lot of fun

Vouch this

You can’t use all the weps with tap because of ias bps, means I gotta get a new wep to even have a tap setup and another helmet. I like my hammer 🔨 but I’ll have to get a rod if mustang don’t make a gm ladder “ I hope he does”

Y’all can’t tap vrs barbs or zons so I dunno, exile is looser sht to me, almost and lame as a prudence sa everyone wears.

Ya’ll need to move on to D2R and check out our ladder! I’m telling you it is worth it.

Anyways…I’ve read all the posts and my outside opinion is just take a deep breath and regroup. The melee community has lasted so long for a reason…the last 2 pages is silly guys. Put it behind ya’ll and come together.

So we have to change the rules of a 12 years+ ladder because you're using a shitty mallet?

make sense

Go back to west

I mean I can min/ max everything and use a rod and hit the same bps and buy a extra helm with a tap setup, but would be only for this old ass ladder and wouldn’t even be able to use it in a tournament. I mean zeal is random enough, now y’all wanna random life tap to that, it’s just lame to me at the end of the day and life tap is even bm in the pubs so I don’t know whatever, I’ll wait a week or two before I commit to a overpriced rod. I hope mustang makes a gm ladder.

I don't personally love tap, but this ladder is a tradition at this point and it's always been tap in zeal vs zeal. And just so you know, there have been tap tournies in the past, so what you are saying about not being able to tap in tournies isn't true.

Also, it is pretty much pointless to use a 244 mallet knowing that you could get the same avg dmg with 290+ seraph rod, but thats your choice in the end.

Make your own ladder / tourny if you want your own rules.
